Marriage License in Kauai, Hawaii

To get married in Hawaii, a Marriage License must be received before the Wedding from the Department of Health, or from one of the several Health Department Agents on Kauai who are authorized to issue Marriage Licenses.

No blood tests (or divorce records*) are required, only valid photo ID's and $60 cash.
*IMPORTANT: If you are under 19 years of age, or were recently divorced (last month), please bring more documentation to prove you are eligible to marry (ie. Birth Certificate, recent Divorce Records).

Single persons 18 years of age and above may marry without parental consent. Wedding packages do not include a Marriage License, which can only be obtained by the Bride & Groom after appearing in person together to apply.

No assistance is necessary to get a Marriage License, just a simple one-page Application form (which only the Bride & Groom can fill out).

Please take note of three important terms and their meanings:
- Marriage License Application: A one-page form you must fill out and bring to the Department of Health (or Health Dept. Agent), along with your ID's and $60.00 processing fee (cash only), to receive your Marriage License.
- Marriage License: The Dept. of Health will give you a MARRIAGE LICENSE, which you need in order to get married in Hawaii. Bring that with you for the Minister to sign at your Wedding.
- Marriage Certificate: The Dept. of Health will mail you your official MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE after they process your Marriage License (signed by the Minister) following your Wedding.

Your official Marriage Certificate will take a few months to arrive by mail, though you may order an official copy of your Certificate by filling out the "Green Form" ( Marriage Records Request). The official Marriage Record arrives faster than the original Certificate, and may be used to make name changes or acquire new ID's. The cost is $10.00 (money order when ordering by mail, or cash in person).

*Please do not confuse your official MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE (from the State of Hawaii) with your souvenir Wedding Certificate included in many of our Wedding Packages.
